If I had been the producer I would have made the set brighter. The people would not have been primitives as evolutionary theories must frame. The people would have been more cultured, sophisticated, and would value knowledge and religious devotions.
Instead of 'rock angels' (an artistic device to try to explain how Noah built the ark with only 3 sons for help) I would have had millions of enslaved workers whose lives were expendable in building great cities.

I try not to let my feelings/emotions get the better of me.

I did not expect to come across any Biblical truths in the movie. I go to the Bible for Biblical truths. At the moment my husband and I are studying the pastoral letters.

"Have we lost our minds?" I think the answer to your question is 'yes'. It's not your mind you are talking about but rather your emotions - clearly. Your mind is lost somewhere in the emotion.

For if we had not lost our minds we would know that no perversion of the truth can sway us from the actual truth. Especially not a movie which didn't claim to be the truth in the first place.

As for those whom you fear may get the wrong idea about the character of God - well yes there is that possibility.

However it would be better if this problem were addressed within the JURISDICTION of the church - as opposed to outside of it.
Since God isn't going to judge the world on the way it looked after Biblical Truths.

It is false to state that the Catholic Church supports homosexuality. The teaching of the Catholic Church is that homosexuality is sinful and an abomination.

I hope I didn't make you feel bad. I do enjoy your reasoning and arguments on some topics.
For the record, a few of the men have changed their handles when attacking as well, but oddly, their IP's are anonymized or spoofed. Makes one wonder...
Looking forward to reading your always interesting and sometimes intriguing posts. We need the balance that comes from the female points of view.

We need to be more careful when judging whether others are saved or not... We can't read hearts or minds. But I do believe that a Christian will seek the truth and sometimes he/she will have to leave a church in order to find it.

The church is not a public forum for any and all to express their beliefs. I would find it hard to believe that an atheist group would allow a Christian to come in to their meeting and preach either.

Think of it like this: Christians talk of free speech as being a God given right - is this correct?
However AT CHURCH Christian's don't demand the same rights.

Where the 'atheist' came in was where I said: I wonder if atheists have noticed?

That is, the atheists outside the church who hear Christian's demanding their God given right to free-speech in the world.
And then I said: Doublestandards.
